I recently started having pain in the mascectomy side which sometimes disturbs my sleep,my question is should I be concerned. I have scilicone implant with my own skin over it .I also hace Lymphadema in my arm,could this have anything to do with it. Would be grateful for any comments.

Hi,
This is quite a quiet part of the forum, it may beworth reposting in the Living with and after breast cancer section. I have had an ongoing niggle in my ribs, discussed with my GP who recommended i seek advice from onc, BCN cintacted, appt to follow, but she did say it could be irritation of the connective tissues. Good luck x

hey im having the same exact issue. i had a bilateral mastectomy, silicone implants, 5 lymph nodes removed. i was diagnosed in 2008 (may). i feel slight pains there as well. at this time i dont have insurance on top of being afraid to go to the doctor. they said the cancer i had doesnt reoccur after 5 years of being cancer free. im slightly concered. to be honest i do not want to go back under the knife.
